(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this survey study of Veterans Health Administration (VHA) health care workers, burnout and professional stress decreased on average following the pandemic, but burnout levels remain elevated compared with prepandemic levels. The VHA has made several efforts to reduce burnout and stress, and results showed some promise, but exploration of ways to reduce burnout to prepandemic levels is needed.

Transcranial pulsed current stimulation and social functioning in children with autism
2025-04-21
About The Study: In this randomized clinical trial of prefrontal-cerebellar transcranial pulsed current stimulation in children ages 3 to 14 with autism spectrum disorder, 20 sessions over 4 weeks improved social functioning and sleep. These findings suggest that transcranial pulsed current stimulation may serve as a viable nonpharmacologic alternative for autism spectrum disorder.

##
Nearly 30 million adults in the United States experience alcohol use disorder (AUD), but the vast majority of people with this condition do not receive treatment. A new study led by Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH), BU Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, and Boston Medical Center (BMC) researchers indicates that hospitals may be an ideal setting to close this gap in care.
Published in JAMA Internal Medicine, the study found that hospitalized patients with alcohol use ...
MSU to create first-of-its-kind database for analyzing human remains
2025-04-21
MSU has a satellite uplink/LTN TV studio and Comrex line for radio interviews upon request.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – When a medical examiner needs help identifying a deceased person and determining how that person died, they turn to forensic anthropologists.
To aid in the identification of unknown human remains, forensic anthropologists are often called upon to create a biological profile, or an estimation of the unknown individual’s age, biological sex, social race (or ancestry) and stature.

Natural supplement may decrease biological aging and improve muscle strength
2025-04-21
“Our findings suggest that the Cel System supplement range may effectively reduce biological age and improve health metrics, warranting further investigation into its mechanistic pathways and long-term efficacy.”
BUFFALO, NY — April 21, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 3, on March 14, 2025, titled “Effects of a natural ingredients-based intervention targeting the hallmarks of aging on epigenetic clocks, physical function, and body composition: a single-arm ...
Ursolic acid modulates estrogen conversion to relieve inflammation in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease via HSD17B14
2025-04-21
Background and Aims
The incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has been escalating annually, positioning it as the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Ursolic acid has demonstrated promising therapeutic efficacy in managing MASLD, thereby justifying the need for an in-depth exploration of its pharmacological mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate elucidate the therapeutic mechanisms by which ursolic acid modulates estrogen conversion in the treatment of MASLD.
Methods
Building upon prior studies that ...
New research highlights how parental awe and pride enhance well-being
2025-04-21
New research from the University of Rochester suggests that experiencing feelings of pride and awe toward one's children can significantly enhance parental well-being. The study, which will be published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, found that these positive emotions contribute to greater life satisfaction and stronger parent-child bonds.
The research team, led by Princeton Chee, conducted a series of studies involving nearly 900 parents to examine how parental pride and awe affect various aspects of well-being.
"Parental pride and awe are common and beneficial feelings parents can have with their ...
Protecting audio privacy at the source
2025-04-21
Sound is a powerful source of information.
By training algorithms to identify distinct sound signatures, sound can reveal what a person is doing, whether it's cooking, vacuuming or washing the dishes. And while it's valuable in some contexts, using sound to identify activities comes with privacy concerns, since microphones can reveal sensitive information.
To allow audio sensing without compromising privacy, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University developed an on-device filter, called Kirigami, that can detect and delete human speech segments ...
Omnivorous? Vegan? Makes no difference to muscle building after weight training, study finds
2025-04-21
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new study asked three questions about muscle protein synthesis in response to a nine-day diet and weight training regimen: First, does the source of protein — plant or animal-based — make any difference to muscle gain? Second, does it matter if total daily protein intake is evenly distributed throughout the day? And third, does a moderate but sufficient daily protein intake influence any of these variables? The answer to all three questions is “no,” the researchers found.
Their findings are reported in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise.
“The longstanding belief or ...
More ticks carry Lyme disease bacteria in pheasant-release areas
2025-04-21
Ticks are more likely to carry the bacteria that can cause Lyme disease in areas where pheasants are released, new research shows.
Pheasants are not native to the UK, but about 47 million are released here each year for recreational shooting.
Researchers studied ticks in 25 woodland areas in South West England where pheasants are released – and 25 nearby control sites where no pheasants are released.
They found that Borrelia spp. – the bacteria that can cause Lyme disease – was almost ...
Older adults respond well to immunotherapy despite age-related immune system differences
2025-04-21
Older adults with cancer respond just as well as younger patients to immune checkpoint inhibitors despite age-related immune system differences, according to a study by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, and the Johns Hopkins Convergence Institute. The study was supported in part by the National Institutes of Health, including the National Cancer Institute’s Specialized Programs of Research Excellence.
Most new solid tumor cancer diagnoses happen in people ages 65 or older, and overall, these patients have worse cancer treatment outcomes than ...
